Series

How to Have a Healthy Church

summary

The sermon argues that 1 Corinthians 14:34–35 addresses a specific case of disorder in Corinthian worship, not a blanket prohibition on women speaking in church. Paul’s concern is orderly, edifying worship in which all believers use their gifts appropriately. The passage is therefore applied as a call for self-control and structure in corporate worship so that the gospel is not obscured.
